Fresh Gluten-free Chicken Stock

Homemade stocks are extremely good for you and very easy to make. .
Having fresh stock on hand, especially during the winter months makes it easy to prepare soups, to boil rice and quinoa, or to add flavor to your favorite recipes.
When you use the bones from the chicken you had for dinner along with the meat scarps, you are not wasting any food, and you are stretching your food dollar. It’s a win, win!
Whenever I cook a chicken I save the bones and innards to make stock. If you live alone and make a whole chicken to eat over the course of a few days, save the bones by wrapping them in freezer paper. Then put them in the freezer along with the gizzards until you are ready to make your stock.
Below is an easy to follow recipe.
